VW BME engine
Content
The 1.2-liter 12-valve Volkswagen BME 1.2 HTP engine was produced from 2004 to 2007 and was installed on the most compact models of the German concern, such as Polo, Ibiza and Fabia. This power unit is essentially just an update to the more famous AZQ motor.
The EA111-1.2 line also includes internal combustion engines: BMD and CGPA.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of VW BME
The weak point of the motor is the short-lived timing chain with a resource of 50 km
Due to a bad hydraulic tensioner, the chain may jump after parking in gear
Floating speed is often caused by contamination of the throttle and crankcase ventilation
Fuel injectors and ignition coils have a rather modest resource.
On long runs, compression often drops here due to valve burnout.
